I have at least three sets of Guerlain Meteorites, the classic original, a set of the beige-coloured perles they released last year, the pressed perles, and this.  Okay, that’s five, but this may be my favourite set yet, for these are stunningly packaged.  From the zebra-skin printed box, to the tin, to the delicately silvered perles within, this is a beautiful addition to any dressing […]

Alongside the new Rouge G in Gardner, Guerlain are also launching a couple of new Rouge Automatique shades, including this one in Nuit D’Amour.  It’s scary-beautiful, look: Described as a black-red, I don’t mind admitting that I gasped a bit when I first opened the packaging of this one, as it looked like this in the room I was in:  Black.  But, actually, it’s not, […]

Anyone who knows me knows I love me a Guerlain Rouge G or three.  Or four. Every time I get asked what my favourite lipsticks are, the Guerlain Rouge G’s are always in the top five – depending on what I’ve been wearing in the previous weeks, that is!  I love the funky-futuristic packaging, the shades and most of all, I love the formula. I also like the […]

The eyeshadow palette from Guerlain this Christmas is inspired by peacock feathers, and contains shades of taupe, green and blue, and is accessorised with a matte black to use for eyelining: with flash No Flash I find that, in the flesh, these shades are remarkably similar to the promo photo, which is a refreshing change: The shades are highly iridescent, and as a result are […]

Many apologies for featuring something that’s not on counter for another month, but I love this collection so much that I just can’t help myself, it’s so beautiful! I have samples of most of it (and they’re coming up the rest of this week, don’t worry), but the thing that really caught my eye was the Vol de Nuit bottle.  So beautiful, so retro, and […]

I’ve been ill – I might have mentioned it, now I come to think of it – and, after the best part of two weeks in bed with a fever, and still wracked with a cough like a beagle on 40 a day a very bad cough indeed, I’m not looking like the healthiest person on the planet.  Pale green, and pale blue and pale […]

Who can resist a product that looks like sago pudding? Not me! I admit that I’m not much of a one for facial primers, but, as I am a big fan of Guerlain’s Lingerie de Peau foundation, I thought I’m give their primer a try too. Mainly, admittedly, because it is by far the prettiest primer on the market. Tiny pink opalescent pearls of light […]

One of the things I really really like about Guerlain is that they bridge an amazing history with really forward-thinking packaging and amazing textures.  It’s a great contrast to think that they’ve been making perfume since the 1870’s and yet, the packaging of their Rouge G’s has more than a little hint of the space age about it, I’ll say one thing for them, they’re […]
